Wait for the user task completion before completing the process

Flowable Application
1

Hi, I tried this https://www.flowable.org/docs/userguide/index.html#bpm10minutetutorial to create a sample project. After that I inserted a service task between the two user tasks and made a java delegate class for that service task.
Now when i start the process, it gets completed without waiting for the completion of the first user task.
How can I make my service task wait and proceed after the user claims and completes the first user task?

Hey @Varun,

Can you perhaps share your BPMN XML?

From what you have explained the service task should wait on the completion of the user task before running.

Hey @filiphr
This is my bpmn fileā€¦

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<process id="financialReport" name="Monthly financial report reminder process">

    <startEvent id="theStart" />

    <sequenceFlow id="flow1" sourceRef="theStart" targetRef="writeReportTask" />

    <userTask id="writeReportTask" name="Write monthly financial report" >
        <documentation>
            Write monthly financial report for publication to shareholders.
        </documentation>
        <potentialOwner>
            <resourceAssignmentExpression>
                <formalExpression>accountancy</formalExpression>
            </resourceAssignmentExpression>
        </potentialOwner>
    </userTask>

    <sequenceFlow id="flow2" sourceRef="writeReportTask" targetRef="random" />

    <serviceTask id="random"
                 name="service_task"
                 flowable:class="com.org.flowable.CallExternalSystemDelegate"></serviceTask>

    <sequenceFlow id="flow4" sourceRef="random" targetRef="verifyReportTask" />

    <userTask id="verifyReportTask" name="Verify monthly financial report" >
        <documentation>
            Verify monthly financial report composed by the accountancy department.
            This financial report is going to be sent to all the company shareholders.
        </documentation>
        <potentialOwner>
            <resourceAssignmentExpression>
                <formalExpression>management</formalExpression>
            </resourceAssignmentExpression>
        </potentialOwner>
    </userTask>

    <sequenceFlow id="flow3" sourceRef="verifyReportTask" targetRef="theEnd" />

    <endEvent id="theEnd" />

</process>

Is something wrong with that ?

Hey @Varun,

The BPMN looks OK to me and it should work as expected. When you start the process you will stop in the ā€œWrite monthly financial reportā€ User Task, then once you complete that task you would go in the Service Task and then stop in the ā€œVerify monthly financial reportā€ User Task. The process would complete once you complete the second task.

Please double check that the new definition is deployed in the engine.

Cheers,
Filip
